 Description   

The bug

Beds can be placed at y=255, however, beds placed at this height cannot be used and give an odd error message.
In chat, this message is

"Height limit for building is 256"

which might make sense when I'm placing the bed, but not when I'm trying to use it.

In the console, the following message appears:

"2013-03-07 07:19:37 [CLIENT] [INFO] [CHAT] §7Height limit for building is 256"

The "section 7" bit is obviously a glitch.

This applies to all blocks with a right-click action (repeater, comparator, lever, bed etc.). When right-clicking the upper side of a block this message appears. Any other side works fine.

How so?

Comment by bdm68 [ 17/Sep/19 ]

Should be fixed. It can potentially cause item duplication.

Comment by PlNG [ 24/Aug/19 ]

Confirmed for 1.14.4 with repeaters. Top face is unusable. Side faces are usable.

Comment by ouroya [ 11/May/19 ]

confirmed for 1.14 with command blocks, which don't even display the contained command when clicked on the top face if it is bordering the height limit, as well as placing armor stands

Comment by Connor Steppie [ 13/Dec/18 ]

Relates to MC-132816 - both can result in wastage of liquid buckets.

Comment by Connor Steppie [ 12/Dec/18 ]

Relates to MC-129886

Comment by Connor Steppie [ 30/Nov/18 ]

Affects 18w48a and 18w48b, can I request ownership of the ticket?

Comment by Connor Steppie [ 25/Nov/18 ]

Affects 18w47b

Comment by Connor Steppie [ 22/Nov/18 ]

Buttons appear to be pressed initially, but pop back much faster.

Comment by William Palmer [ 20/Aug/18 ]

Also cannot open trapdoors at build limit. Appears to open (client-side), but closes immediately, with build height message

Comment by Connor Steppie [ 20/Aug/18 ]

Affects 1.13.1-pre2

Comment by Ely G [ 03/Jun/18 ]

still a problem in 18w22c

Comment by [Mod] violine1101 [ 07/Mar/18 ]

For command blocks, you're actually able to access the GUI, but it doesn't load correctly (command line is empty and all buttons except "Cancel" are disabled). See MC-126830.

Please remove old environment

Comment by SunCat [ 26/Oct/16 ]

SuperCatGaming, 1.10.2 is already in the list of affected versions

Comment by Super Cat Gaming [ 26/Oct/16 ]

Confirmed for 1.10.2
Also affects slabs.

Comment by null (Inactive) [ 22/Jun/16 ]

Confirmed for 1.10.1.

Comment by null (Inactive) [ 08/Jun/16 ]

Confirmed for 1.10.

Comment by Fabian Röling [ 08/Jun/16 ]

Buckets get emptied, but liquid not set. Because of that there should be a "relates to" link to MC-54119. I think when there were blocks possible above 256, it would behave the same as MC-54119.

Comment by null (Inactive) [ 07/Jun/16 ]

Confirmed for 1.10-pre2.

Comment by null (Inactive) [ 03/Jun/16 ]

Confirmed for 1.10-pre1. In case no one noticed, the §7 thing is fixed.

Comment by Fabian Röling [ 22/Mar/16 ]

Little error in the description: In 1.9 you can place full blocks at y=255, not only torches, etc. I don't know when exactly it changed.

Comment by Marcono1234 [ 22/Mar/16 ]

Please link to this comment in the description

The following is based on decompiled version of Minecraft 1.9 using MCP 9.24 beta. All method and class names are the names used in the decompiled version.

The reason why this happens is because the method net.minecraft.network.NetHandlerPlayServer.func_184337_a(CPacketPlayerTryUseItem) is used when the player tries to use an item. The problem is that this method will test if the placed block would be above the build limit before testing if the player is playing a block or if he is only interacting with a block or using an item.

Comment by Maarten Meuris [ 22/Mar/16 ]

Still in 1.9 release version...

Comment by Francielly [ 06/Feb/16 ]

Comment by Ely G [ 21/Oct/15 ]

Comment by Sad Ghoster [ 10/Jul/15 ]

Confirmed for 1.8.7, but apparently nobody really cares.

Comment by [Mod] redstonehelper [ 07/Oct/14 ]

Confirmed for 1.8.

Comment by Marcono1234 [ 25/Aug/14 ]

Is duplicated by: MC-64819

It happens also when you use any item and rightclick it while looking down on the surface

Comment by [Mod] redstonehelper [ 24/Aug/14 ]

Confirmed for 1.8-pre1, also affects buttons now.

Comment by Itouch2 [ 02/Mar/14 ]

Still a concern in 1.7.5 and 14w08a

Comment by Tails [ 07/Mar/13 ]

Confirmed.

Comment by fuj1n (Arthur Uzulin) [ 07/Mar/13 ]

§7 means the text is output in grey.
